@JasonPowell - That is excellent news! We also had very few problems last year, except for the OLR issues that were noted and resolved. I still have a list of suggestion open in the v3 thread, but like you, I'm happy to hear that at least the status quo will continue for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for getting a hold of Chris, and thanks for reporting back to us.

@JasonPowell - Absolutely. There are some minor inconveniences with the current software, but nothing we can't live with. As long as data backup and live results stay operational, we would definitely be willing to pay a reasonable maintenance / subscription fee.

Personally, as long as the system continues to run, I plan to keep using it. If something breaks to the point of unusability or major inconvenience, then I'll switch.

Right now, AXti.me is like a great but aging daily driver. It's getting old and parts are hard to find, but it's running mostly fine except a few of the little options. I'll keep driving it until it throws a rod or the clutch gives up.

@JC - I've noticed that at our last couple of events. The runs are definitely there, but something is preventing the popup window from pulling them from the database. I have no idea what's causing it, but it's not just you.

Hmm, I'd like to test this on my setup to see if it's a global bug, but I don't want to end up in the same boat.

I've reclassed cars numerous times and have never encountered this issue. It seems like almost every event, somebody is misclassed and needs adjustment. I just did this after my 08 July event and had no issues. I'm away from my T+S computer right now but I can post version details later.

@sjd - Unfortunately, that is true. His life also seems to have been complicated by health issues in his family, at least according to a post by @Chris earlier this year.

The lack of support is a real shame, because there is a market here dying to be served. In the last 2 weeks I have advised 2 different clubs about using AXti.me and both are extremely interested in buying it, but are hesitant due to @Chris's near-total disappearance.

The Dell ATG series is made for being outdoors. The displays are brilliant, legible even in the sun, and the chassis is rugged. You can pick them up used for $200-$300 all day long. This model has plenty of horsepower to host AXTI.me.

UNFORTUNATELY, I only found out about them after I bought the semi-crappy touchscreen HP laptop that is our main hosting machine. We have 3 previous model Dell ATGs and those are the ones everybody goes to for staff tasks.

Yeah, I get it. But a day's worth of posting live results is about 50 mb. Just make sure that your browser is only going to live.axti.me on the main computer, so it's not reloading Google or some other page on your metered internet. If you can get a very low monthly limit for an acceptable price, you'll be fine. I have 500 mb / month and that's more than enough for a couple of events. Good luck!
